With September already upon us, many
chapters are planning their fall rally schedule. We have a
number of resources available on the Young Eagles web site to
make planning and executing an event easier. Also remember to
add your rally to the EAA
Calendar of Events.

Now is also a good time for
pilots to check to see if they have reached their "10 for
2008." Pilots who fly 10 or more Young Eagles in a calendar
year earn credits that can be used to help off-set the cost of
sending a Young Eagle to one of the EAA Air Academy sessions
next summer. Each year, many pilots fall just a few Young Eagles
short of earning credits. Many chapters have created scholarship
funds, using credits to help send a youngster to camp. Even if
you are not a chapter member, you can still help a deserving
kid. Pilots can return their credits to headquarters and we'll
use them in the general Air Academy scholarship fund. It's a
great way to inspire a Young Eagle. The
current 10 for 2008 listing.
